Let me know if you guys like this format, meaning me talking off the top of my head about different topics. If so Ill start doing this once or twice per month in addition to tutorials and presentations. Don't worry I will not become a "coding channel" that does not write any code lol. Seems there are so many of those.
yes yes yes!!!... Please make more videos like this Brad! Just to know this things of a day-by-day of developer! Preciate so much your content, keep doing!
Right in the beginning, I saw a shy, calm, kind guy who would upload video tutorials on JavaScript things. Now I see a confident, humble and awesome guy who wants to make the community better. This was really good man! This motivation is needed always! Really appreciated.
@@TraversyMedia Hey Traversy! how long does it take you to learn->understand->code->implement->debug for a single mini project you do. And do you learn directly from the documentation and books or are there any other sources???😶 Your playlist is simply awesome.
Yea I wish people would understand you don't have to remember everything but understand the concepts. I have like 30 different sites I'm constantly looking over when I forget something.
Brad, this is one of MANY reasons, why we love your channel. Not only do you help us learn, but you offer encouragement, and that goes a long way. Thank you for all that you do. Huge fan here in Vegas.
Da Bunnisher That’s awesome. It is what I set out to accomplish. I don’t want to just push tutorials but also touch on more personal life stuff that we all go through. I want people that do not feel like “programmers” but love it to follow that passion and not let stupid insecurities drive them away as mine almost did
Awesome video. It's so true, people ask me all the time what programming and coding is like. They think it's like what they see in the Matrix with binary code flowing down the screen and being able to read it or like Elliot from Mr. Robot just typing away on a keyboard. I'm like nope, it's more thinking than anything else. I spend more time mapping out my ideas than I do actually coding. Then I research to see if there's a solution similar to my idea and if so, how can I refactor it to suit my needs. Mastering the art of using Google is key to learning how to code. I like the various formats of your videos. The scripted videos are ideal for explaining complex material. The talking head type videos are good for more general conversation type videos. Mixing it up is a good thing.
Well said. Staring out the window and twirling a pen in my fingers is when I do my best work. Although it can also signify a minor existential crisis. Depends on the time of day. :D
Mike Igoe yeah, most people around me think I’m always spaced out. What they don’t realize is I’m thinking about whatever project I’m working on at the time. 😂
Good chat. I've been coding 20 years. There is no way we can keep all this stuff in you head all the time. Just knowing how to tackle dev problems in a simple troubleshooting methodology is a good trick. Simple and repeatable. Thanks!
dt98 what would you suggest? I know that there are tons of other courses online but i like his style and would love to see his take on the concept. Sometimes i take ywo or three courses on a subject because it allows me to catch something i didnt catch before on my own. What courses would you like to see?
yes Brad these kind of format should be done at least once per month if you have any such topic as this one, this is very critical issue for beginners and i've gone through already, if this format was there two years ago may be i saved my time where i doubt my self and i was about to quit. conclusion of the video: * Memorize concept only. * Core concepts learned once and applied to any language. * Languages/Libraries/Frameworks have there own syntax but concepts are same. * Make personal docs for syntax reference. * Project based tutorials are very helpful to apply the concept on your application. * Adding my personal point: i used to save the information for future that i hardly find on Google to solve problems. Correct me if I'm wrong. Brad i have seen people quit programming because of this issue and i believe it will gonna help a lot of people out there, Thanks for sharing your experience! i like you cute kid once i saw him in your video i wanna hug him❤ May God bless you and your family.
I gotta tell you, man. You are really inspirational. I have a decent background in IT, but almost nothing in web dev. I had some bad experiences recently and got myself into a shitty situation. I've felt totally hopeless and depressed for almost two years. While trying to figure out a way out of my position, I decided to try to pursue a career shift out of network administration and into web dev and found your channel. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me. I now don't feel so helpless anymore and feel like I have a positive path and goal in my life again. Thank you for all that you've done and for being a genuinely awesome person.
Thank you for sharing! You asked if we appreciate this type of content uploaded from you... absolutely! As a student and web development I find all your content very helpful! A lot of your videos I haven’t even approached that portion of web development but I will be referring to them as I get there:)
When I start coding I actually had one thing in my mind, remember the sequences of the code which I made, but it didn't work at all. I was so frustrated. Now I have lots of files saved "under my pillow" and I reuse the code from older projects, keeping an eye to them and upgrading when they need.
Keep doing this type of stuff. It really helps us developers that learned 100% by just doing and no formal training understand if we're doing the right things or what others are doing. I would love to see something on basic programming. Something with use cases for the different constructs so we know when we should be using the different tools that programming languages provide.
Thank you so much Brad! Really love this type of video, it helps to motivate myself and I believe everyone else too! It give an exposure about the process of learning to code. Really love it!
Sir, One of the major reasons I switched to learning web development halfway through Java was because a resource like yours exists! I discovered your channel from one of your self help videos last year and I have been hooked onto it ever since. The first thing I am gonna do after getting a job, is become a patron for your channnel! Only I know the degree of happiness I experience, when I see the Traversy Media animation & hear the sound when watching a video! Edit: Sir, I forgot to add that yes such videos are extremely helpful to most newcomers (especially those in self-doubt and looking to discontinue learning) and they are my personal favourite too!
Sujit Mohanty i will do the same. I discover this last february 2018 and now I am hook on reading and trying to understand his tutorials also read books too in Programming. Traversy Media is an inspiration
Big Thanks ! To Big (in all meanings of this word) Man ! You are that one who taught me JavaScript fundamentals. My first working button was made with your help, Brad ! G-d bless you !
I love you Brad! Yes! We do! Do more of this.. It helps us. Most times I just get frustrated and think the problem is with me. Maybe am not cut out for programming, maybe I don't have the same level of talent.. But your videos such as this helps me to understand and most importantly, learn that nobody was born with this.. Just persistence and more research. ❤️
This is one of many reasons why I am watching your videos. You are not only great teacher but also fantastic mentor and both are equal important for me.
sometimes i think, that may programing is not for me.. it's hard to learn and remember something new (for me). but i don't know something else, and don't know what to do if not writing code. so thank for motivation ))
Do you know what is the fun fact? The fun fact is that I'm not even a programmer. I'm a mechanical engineer who was looking up sth else in the youtube and saw your self-doubt video and you were so good and calming that it ended up me here now. I'm actually thinking about starting to learn web developing. I already know about C/C++, Julia, and Java. So why not?
1. Memorize the concepts, not necessarily the syntax 2. "If you memorize only one path in a forest it will only work if you start and end at the same place"
This came in at the perfect time ! I have tomorrow an interview for Front End Developer and I'm constantly worrying about not being good enough with only the general knowledge learned at home. You are a pure motivation ! I'll sure support you in the future with what I can if I'll get on a good path with my job and such. Learned so much from your videos... Thanks a lot for all the effort you put into those videos and into understanding what your subscribers want. Few people are like this... Have a nice week and wish you the best ! Cheers from Romania.
Thank you for being so open about this. I actually hit this very problem today, thinking I wasn't good enough because I couldn't remember how to write a PHP for loop without looking it up.. Your channel is a serious life saver. Thank you again and please keep being awesome!
I'm a university student that everyone praises like I remember everything in what ever language I use. But I tell them that when I'm doing something I take a day to look at some code and ideas and then code. I don't really remember code. I learn concepts, oop, mvc, functional I just learn the concepts first. Not saying that I don't remember a lot of a language's in an out at times
I still cannot believe how cool you are! :O Good ->Great->Greater->Greatest->Brad_Traversy. Bless you, Brad! Wish you health, long live full of happiness and all the best!
You are not alone in this. Welcome to the wonderful and enigmatic world of programming. I've been in the field for almost 25 years now. And sure, while age now plays some part in referencing common concepts I knew as a youngster, technology continues to rapidly evolve around us, practically forcing us to constantly add/edit/delete our collective years of resource materials. There literally is no end.
Thanks for the video Brad, this feels like a blessing as it came at the right time,i'm beginning my journey as a self taught wed dev and i am constantly paralyzed with this uneasy feeling of "I have to master this 100%" before I move on, that mentality real put me in a bad space..but the more i watch videos like this the more i realize even the pros are always "referring" to sources..great stuff!
Thank you so so much,just watched your video on how to escape tutorial hell and now this one.I have been coding with plenty tutorials,because I combine their different ideas and it has been really helpful.But,I am a victim of tutorial hell.Will apply some of your advice,hopeful they will work.Keep soaring Sir.God bless.
I use all your videos as audio books. Please keep in mind that all your videos is very handy for audio courses. And its better then any podcasts. Keep that in mind for feature videos. Amazing job, Brad
I got inspired by Jeremy Ciora from CBT and got my first CCNA, Brad got me inspired and since Sept this year, I learned HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL by watching his tutorials, and so far far, I built 3 apps, hats off and thank you Brad.
I'm happy for you sir.I discovered this interesting field in May, but I couldn't code 'cause I don't have a pc, I have just my phone. I tried to create some html and css on my phone, but is horrible. Anyway, keep going and have a good day
I loved this format!! I actually really needed to hear this today, I am 50 years old and just now learning to code and have been getting very frustrated because I don't really know how to "get in and make it my own" yet. I feel like I'm not creative a thinker as I need to be? Is that even a requirement? Thank you for your video!!
Creative Requirement can definitely make you better at layouts. Though you can learn step by step that wont react that much of creativeness. I hope you have a great time learning coding :)
I had a client who had a big ego! He said me that i will have to pass his programming test to get the project. Best part is, i will have to live program & on notepad, no ide / editor could be used, he want to know the person he is hiring is skilled enough!! The project costed some 10,000 indian rupees equal to $160 odd :-P
I recite the formulas that I consider to be important every other day. Been doing this at least a year. It definitely helped me become more proficient! 08012020
Brilliant video. I work with PHP and MySQL and I'm forever having to look stuff up. It took half a year of looking up and using the fetch_assoc function to pull rows from the database and output them into a table before I could remember the syntax off the top of my head. I'm currently learning Laravel and I have to constantly copy & paste or look up the syntax for routes. Like you say, learning the principles behind the code so you know how to use properly is far more important. Anyway, it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one :D
This is really good topic! Waiting for this series of how to learn concepts and concepts itself. Syntax is pretty simple. But most hardest part is how to combine those syntax pieces together into something meaningfull. I found that by learning concepts i learn programming more efficient. For example now i would like to know steps and concept on how to create nested tree structure (frontend). Not how to code it, but what building blocks and concepts i should look for. Or... how to validate (text/email/float) import into DB 1M rows of CSV file in performant way. I have no idea where to start. Do i need to save that file on the server temp directory first? How to match db columns with CSV columns. When to do row cell validating? Do i need to split that file in some parts and to process every part in paralel for better performance? I just post this as example what im looking for as newbie. Basically, i know how to code... but i dont know how to construct real life stuff. Like.. i know what car is and how to drive it and how to tie bolts... but i dont know what pieces i need to assamble this car.
You would not believe how much we have on common based on your personal back story. I was floored watching it and it made me so happy to hear how you recovered. You are so genuinely inspirational! I can't stop watching your videos to get some work done LOL. But that's good because I'm trying to get out of the pigeon hole. Thanks for all you do man. You're the best.
I was really worried at first that I don't remember all the concepts that are taught in a programming course but this video calmed me and motivated me to focus on learning the logic behind them not every character that's being typed :D
Thanks for the discussion Brad. I also think it's important to note that cultivating ideas is necessary so you can apply your coding skills to projects. Do other things besides coding! Make things. Solve problems. Listen. Be open to the unexpected lessons in all things. Don't be too proud - even the simplest things can teach you something. Just because you can type doesn't mean you can create a novel. Typing can help but you must dream, dream, dream! And you must also do. Like you mentioned Brad, practice being resourceful - know how to find what you need to meet your goals. Don't rely on other people to find out the answers you need. That's lazy and self defeating. If you're dreaming big enough - the answer isn't OUT there! Try to be kind to yourself - realize that you already know a lot. You're never starting from zero. If you must learn that new, trendy framework - understand the problems it was created to address and decide how (or if) it will help you (before you invest your precious energy).
100% correct. Good and even great programmers know the fundamentals of a given technology and have mastered the ability of traversing the documentation and StackOverflow.
Dear Mr. Brad, i am following your course 'Modern Javascript from the beginning' in Udemy and i think tha is great! I have done very good mooc courses, but i needed to know Javascript (from the basic to upper skill) and you teach very very well. So, thank you very much! Paolo Maria Guardiani (musician).
Brad I just wonder about your RUclips subscriber counter. Could you please explain about it, which programming language you used and how to? Thanks in advance.
Sweet setup! The RUclips views counter is the best man! Lol Just about to finish your MERN course on udemy. Really, really good stuff! I’ve been writing react for a year now and I still got a ton out of it. Go Sox.
I just got my first internship a few days ago and they’re using angular 1.4 and I’ve NEVER used angular before in my life so I’ll take this advice as I go through this angular journey!
Thanks Brad for videos like these.. Really needed this.. because I was working on this project, basically a clone of FL studio (DAW )with JavaScript and electron.. And I just gave up because it became a lot complicated... this video gave me a bit motivation.. Thanks alot...
Pleease do the video on non-language-specific programming !! Great Channel ! my progress keeps getting interrupted by this work thing but I get caught back up and inspired watching your videos.
Hi Bob, I just found out your channel and subscribed it. Can you make iSpring Suite tutorial? I think this program has potentials but so little guide in youtube. keep up the good work, thanks!
Hello Brad! A week ago I've just started my path into coding. First of all I find your videos very helpful and full of insights, above all the real-life examples you give. In this video you mentioned about checking the documentation of a language before taking any tutorial/course. Do you recommend any special web site where to check this? Right now I am learning HTML/HTML5 and when I google "HTML documentation" the first results were "devdocs.com" and MDN, are they good ones?
Things to memorize: 1) How to create objects and address properties and keys 2) How to manipulate arrays 3) How to write a variety of loops Things not to memorize: 1) Boilerplate 2) Every single built-in method 3) Entire programs
dear Brad, your vides are always attractive !! Could you make some videos for AI in web application , somethings about Tensorflow.js, DeepLearn.js ,.... . I really want to have knowledge about these fields. could you consider this comment !!
I am glad I was led to this video. I have just gotten interested in Programming. Thank you for the tips and honest talk, this will help me to be efficient in this journey :) God bless.
Loved the youtube subscribers counter. It's really cool! 4 new subscribers in this almost 10 min video, that's 24 an hour, 576 per day.... That's impressive and you deserve much more than that Brad. Happy for you
Please do such a course, I'm really disappointed I'm 44 years old and I've been learning javascript for two years and I'm still struggling with the basics ...
Way to burst the illusion Brad! In all seriousness, I am a code horder. A good chunk of my js/node/npm (MEAN/MERN) notes and code snippets are actually from some of your content. Thanks for all that. Along these lines though, the MEAN/MERN world is changing so fast that my snippets get broken a lot. I have a lot of C/C++ code that is old as dirt and I rarely find a library that has changed and broken it or similar. To a lesser extend Python code snippets keep well, but Angular, and such, even npm and package names, changes very very fast in breaking ways. I get it. The environment is maturing and it's super popular, and we are getting so much great stuff because of it, but if you don't work in it every day, it's tough to keep things relevant. I love your idea of a generic "programming" course. I personally would be interested in hearing you talk about data structures, and common algorithms and such.
Hey brad, I just finished your course in MERN stack uDemy course, and it was awesome. My focus is in node, express and react, if you can make a tutorial (or uDemy course, ill gladly sign up!) on PERN stack that would help me a great deal, coz i find your way of instructing really helps me progress on being a developer. Thanks!
Should create a community project, like Traversy Coin offering, lol. This way everybody can contribute on github. That'll be an interesting and cool project. Can divide the work amongst individuals from UI/UX on web/mobile app, to the back-end, then the core blockchain structure itself.
Awesome video, as always. Thanks Brad. Plus I think you've just added 4 subscribers in 9 minutes? That's great news. Nice you tube button plaque on the wall btw.
Let me know if you guys like this format, meaning me talking off the top of my head about different topics. If so Ill start doing this once or twice per month in addition to tutorials and presentations. Don't worry I will not become a "coding channel" that does not write any code lol. Seems there are so many of those.
I really like seeing you just speaking your mind, definitely more of this content.
These videos are as awesome as the tutorials you post and that's saying a lot :)
Keep up the great work.
Cheers!
yes yes yes!!!... Please make more videos like this Brad! Just to know this things of a day-by-day of developer! Preciate so much your content, keep doing!
Aside from Being a very good tutor, you have an awesome personality. :)
Hell yes!
2 years as a developer and I still need a reference to remember the exact syntax to link a stylesheet or JavaScript file

@@TraversyMedia Hey Traversy! how long does it take you to learn->understand->code->implement->debug for a single mini project you do. And do you learn directly from the documentation and books or are there any other sources???😶 Your playlist is simply awesome.
Programming is not learning and Memorizing, It's Debugging, Reassessing and Researching, because learning never ends.
Thats IT in general lol. Technology changes every 3 months at a minimum.
that is why I said programming not specifically any language or SAAS
"Technology changes every 3 months at a minimum." - Not if you work for the government! :P
Jeremy Coleman yeah true :)

Apart from Github and StackOverflow can you mention main ones or you just google it?

I'm a university student that everyone praises like I remember everything in what ever language I use. But I tell them that when I'm doing something I take a day to look at some code and ideas and then code. I don't really remember code. I learn concepts, oop, mvc, functional I just learn the concepts first. Not saying that I don't remember a lot of a language's in an out at times
4 people subscribed to Brad's channel while he was recording this video :) Good job man and thank you!
I still cannot believe how cool you are! :O Good ->Great->Greater->Greatest->Brad_Traversy. Bless you, Brad! Wish you health, long live full of happiness and all the best!
Awesome! I have a lot of issues in the memorizing part. Information doesn't stick, i have to keep revisiting same topics every day :/
Same here man, same here :)
You are not alone in this. Welcome to the wonderful and enigmatic world of programming. I've been in the field for almost 25 years now. And sure, while age now plays some part in referencing common concepts I knew as a youngster, technology continues to rapidly evolve around us, practically forcing us to constantly add/edit/delete our collective years of resource materials. There literally is no end.
That's true for me as well
Thanks for the video Brad, this feels like a blessing as it came at the right time,i'm beginning my journey as a self taught wed dev and i am constantly paralyzed with this uneasy feeling of "I have to master this 100%" before I move on, that mentality real put me in a bad space..but the more i watch videos like this the more i realize even the pros are always "referring" to sources..great stuff!
@Anthony Kamau gave up..got bored and sidetracked with life..might go back to it later
First i like than i watch thank you Brad for posting this kind of videos very helpful wish you all the best in life :)
MethodManRedman FAN same here
Thank you so so much,just watched your video on how to escape tutorial hell and now this one.I have been coding with plenty tutorials,because I combine their different ideas and it has been really helpful.But,I am a victim of tutorial hell.Will apply some of your advice,hopeful they will work.Keep soaring Sir.God bless.
I use all your videos as audio books. Please keep in mind that all your videos is very handy for audio courses. And its better then any podcasts. Keep that in mind for feature videos. Amazing job, Brad
I got inspired by Jeremy Ciora from CBT and got my first CCNA, Brad got me inspired and since Sept this year, I learned HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL by watching his tutorials, and so far far, I built 3 apps, hats off and thank you Brad.
I'm happy for you sir.I discovered this interesting field in May, but I couldn't code 'cause I don't have a pc, I have just my phone. I tried to create some html and css on my phone, but is horrible.
Anyway, keep going and have a good day
I loved this format!! I actually really needed to hear this today, I am 50 years old and just now learning to code and have been getting very frustrated because I don't really know how to "get in and make it my own" yet. I feel like I'm not creative a thinker as I need to be? Is that even a requirement? Thank you for your video!!
Creative Requirement can definitely make you better at layouts. Though you can learn step by step that wont react that much of creativeness. I hope you have a great time learning coding :)
I had a client who had a big ego! He said me that i will have to pass his programming test to get the project. Best part is, i will have to live program & on notepad, no ide / editor could be used, he want to know the person he is hiring is skilled enough!! The project costed some 10,000 indian rupees equal to $160 odd :-P
Baam its awesome to see that in you background youtube subscriber is increasing. Love you dear
I watched 75% of this video when I realized he isn't going to talk about memoization, he's talking about memorizing
I liked your advice video with this format. I would love a programming course without a specific language. Using like pseudo code examples.
Your tutorials are amazing! I am 100% sure, you will get gold button from RUclips very soon.
Common pattern I've found amongst my favorite developers is modesty
I recite the formulas that I consider to be important every other day. Been doing this at least a year. It definitely helped me become more proficient!

I like this format, but It's better to keep it at a low frequency. Like once a week, one every 2 weeks.
My thoughts exactly. I do not want to turn into a coding channel that never codes lol. So many of those
Great video. Thanks. I really needed to hear this.
Congrats on new workspace !
I have not meant you in person but i can say you are one of realest person i have come across in my entire life
Been in this industry since 2005 and there’s some solid advice here.
Brilliant video.
I work with PHP and MySQL and I'm forever having to look stuff up. It took half a year of looking up and using the fetch_assoc function to pull rows from the database and output them into a table before I could remember the syntax off the top of my head.
I'm currently learning Laravel and I have to constantly copy & paste or look up the syntax for routes.
Like you say, learning the principles behind the code so you know how to use properly is far more important.
Anyway, it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one :D
Thanks, buddy! You raised my spirits. That's what I needed to hear.
I think it's a great idea to go over the basics of programming
thanks Brad! love u bro!
Ahhhh man that´s a relief, i honestly believed that experienced programmers, just started coding from memory
I love this kind of videos. Just jump in this world of coding 2 months ago and this vids help me a lot to not drop out 🤩🤩💪
This is really good topic! Waiting for this series of how to learn concepts and concepts itself. Syntax is pretty simple. But most hardest part is how to combine those syntax pieces together into something meaningfull. I found that by learning concepts i learn programming more efficient. For example now i would like to know steps and concept on how to create nested tree structure (frontend). Not how to code it, but what building blocks and concepts i should look for. Or... how to validate (text/email/float) import into DB 1M rows of CSV file in performant way. I have no idea where to start. Do i need to save that file on the server temp directory first? How to match db columns with CSV columns. When to do row cell validating? Do i need to split that file in some parts and to process every part in paralel for better performance? I just post this as example what im looking for as newbie. Basically, i know how to code... but i dont know how to construct real life stuff. Like.. i know what car is and how to drive it and how to tie bolts... but i dont know what pieces i need to assamble this car.

That recaro gt esque chair u sat on...!
.
Yes, that would be awesome! General Programming Crash Course here on YT!
Google is the no.1 tool for developing.
bro i fucking love you ,shiiit
You would not believe how much we have on common based on your personal back story. I was floored watching it and it made me so happy to hear how you recovered. You are so genuinely inspirational! I can't stop watching your videos to get some work done LOL. But that's good because I'm trying to get out of the pigeon hole. Thanks for all you do man. You're the best.
I was really worried at first that I don't remember all the concepts that are taught in a programming course but this video calmed me and motivated me to focus on learning the logic behind them not every character that's being typed :D
Thanks for the discussion Brad. I also think it's important to note that cultivating ideas is necessary so you can apply your coding skills to projects. Do other things besides coding! Make things. Solve problems. Listen. Be open to the unexpected lessons in all things. Don't be too proud - even the simplest things can teach you something. Just because you can type doesn't mean you can create a novel. Typing can help but you must dream, dream, dream! And you must also do. Like you mentioned Brad, practice being resourceful - know how to find what you need to meet your goals. Don't rely on other people to find out the answers you need. That's lazy and self defeating. If you're dreaming big enough - the answer isn't OUT there! Try to be kind to yourself - realize that you already know a lot. You're never starting from zero. If you must learn that new, trendy framework - understand the problems it was created to address and decide how (or if) it will help you (before you invest your precious energy).
I am the same, I always google things instead of documentation
OMFG I always thought I was incompetent because I can't always fully remember every piece of complex code and concept I learned. Thanks a lot Brad.
100% correct. Good and even great programmers know the fundamentals of a given technology and have mastered the ability of traversing the documentation and StackOverflow.
Thank you. I’m 48 and I was concerned about this topic. Cheers from Madrid.
Dear Mr. Brad,
i am following your course 'Modern Javascript from the beginning' in Udemy and i think tha is great!
I have done very good mooc courses, but i needed to know Javascript (from the basic to upper skill) and you teach very very well.
So, thank you very much!
Paolo Maria Guardiani (musician).
Brad I just wonder about your RUclips subscriber counter. Could you please explain about it, which programming language you used and how to? Thanks in advance.
Sweet setup! The RUclips views counter is the best man! Lol Just about to finish your MERN course on udemy. Really, really good stuff! I’ve been writing react for a year now and I still got a ton out of it. Go Sox.
I just got my first internship a few days ago and they’re using angular 1.4 and I’ve NEVER used angular before in my life so I’ll take this advice as I go through this angular journey!
No wonder why I didn't stick to it I was do CSS html from memory and saying now I have to memorize Javascript...yikes!
Thanks Brad for videos like these.. Really needed this.. because I was working on this project, basically a clone of FL studio (DAW )with JavaScript and electron.. And I just gave up because it became a lot complicated... this video gave me a bit motivation.. Thanks alot...
In my mother langauge i would say BRAD TRAVERSY "URICHIBABA" meaning that you are beyond great!
Pleease do the video on non-language-specific programming !! Great Channel ! my progress keeps getting interrupted by this work thing but I get caught back up and inspired watching your videos.
Hi Bob, I just found out your channel and subscribed it. Can you make iSpring Suite tutorial? I think this program has potentials but so little guide in youtube. keep up the good work, thanks!
Hello Brad! A week ago I've just started my path into coding. First of all I find your videos very helpful and full of insights, above all the real-life examples you give. In this video you mentioned about checking the documentation of a language before taking any tutorial/course. Do you recommend any special web site where to check this? Right now I am learning HTML/HTML5 and when I google "HTML documentation" the first results were "devdocs.com" and MDN, are they good ones?
Things to memorize:
1) How to create objects and address properties and keys
2) How to manipulate arrays
3) How to write a variety of loops
Things not to memorize:
1) Boilerplate
2) Every single built-in method
3) Entire programs
dear Brad, your vides are always attractive !! Could you make some videos for AI in web application , somethings about Tensorflow.js, DeepLearn.js ,.... . I really want to have knowledge about these fields. could you consider this comment !!
I am glad I was led to this video. I have just gotten interested in Programming. Thank you for the tips and honest talk, this will help me to be efficient in this journey :) God bless.
Loved the youtube subscribers counter. It's really cool! 4 new subscribers in this almost 10 min video, that's 24 an hour, 576 per day.... That's impressive and you deserve much more than that Brad. Happy for you
Please do such a course, I'm really disappointed I'm 44 years old and I've been learning javascript for two years and I'm still struggling with the basics ...
I’m glad you made this video. Sometimes I feel like I’m supposed to remember every line of code I write. That’s when imposter syndrome kicks in
Way to burst the illusion Brad!
In all seriousness, I am a code horder. A good chunk of my js/node/npm (MEAN/MERN) notes and code snippets are actually from some of your content.
Thanks for all that.
Along these lines though, the MEAN/MERN world is changing so fast that my snippets get broken a lot. I have a lot of C/C++ code that is old as dirt and I rarely find a library that has changed and broken it or similar. To a lesser extend Python code snippets keep well, but Angular, and such, even npm and package names, changes very very fast in breaking ways. I get it. The environment is maturing and it's super popular, and we are getting so much great stuff because of it, but if you don't work in it every day, it's tough to keep things relevant.
I love your idea of a generic "programming" course. I personally would be interested in hearing you talk about data structures, and common algorithms and such.
Hey brad, I just finished your course in MERN stack uDemy course, and it was awesome. My focus is in node, express and react, if you can make a tutorial (or uDemy course, ill gladly sign up!) on PERN stack that would help me a great deal, coz i find your way of instructing really helps me progress on being a developer. Thanks!
Should create a community project, like Traversy Coin offering, lol. This way everybody can contribute on github. That'll be an interesting and cool project. Can divide the work amongst individuals from UI/UX on web/mobile app, to the back-end, then the core blockchain structure itself.
Great idea Brad!!! tuts is programming control structures that would be AWESOME!!!
Awesome video, as always. Thanks Brad. Plus I think you've just added 4 subscribers in 9 minutes? That's great news. Nice you tube button plaque on the wall btw.
First time commenter, but long time follower! This is awesome!!! God bless you, Thanks so much!!!
Please MAke a video on your favorite packages for sublime / brackets... Emmet... stuff like that. Thanks for the videos and support !
